BUFFALO, N.Y. — For the fifth straight year, University at
Buffalo faculty member Gene D. Morse, PharmD, has been invited to
lead a session on research capacity building at an international
conference.

For decades, Buffalo’s population has shrunk. But the
city’s number of immigrants and refugees are on the rise.
With the sudden population surge come a host of problems. The
University at Buffalo will tackle these issues through the
Immigrant and Refugee Research Institute (IRRI), a new institute
under the School of Social Work and Buffalo Center for Social
Research.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda,
in which an estimated 800,000 people lost their lives over 100 days
beginning in April 1994. To commemorate this anniversary and honor
the memory of Alison L. Des Forges, an internationally known
historian and human rights activist, the University at Buffalo will
present two events on April 24.

The University at Buffalo Confucius Institute (UBCI) and the
Chinese Club of Western New York (CCWNY) will celebrate the Chinese
Lunar Year of the (energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and
able) Horse on Feb. 2 with its annual free public performance of
music, dance and Chinese martial arts.

Lilliam Malavé will lead a troupe of UB students and
Western New York educators who will learn the Mandarin language and
culture while living with families in Beijing this summer, thanks
to a Fulbright-Hays award funded by the U.S. Department of
Education.
